About the Artwork
The work in her strand SOFT explores the idea of comfort - its capacity to soothe, but also to seduce or suffocate. The Soft Cell series examines the allure of relinquishing agency in return for a soothing sense of weightlessness, an absence of friction, a kind of anaesthetic against postmodernity. The Soft Core series places ‘self-soothing’ in the context of imagery and sensation: what's at stake when we consume to be consumed, or subsume the erotic into a pornotopia whose images refer only to themselves. Suspended, this work suspends judgement, inhabiting rather than resolving the ambiguity between play and dependence, delight and unease, artifice and the increasingly ambient forms of artificiality through which contemporary life is experienced.
